October 13:?Notwithstanding that it is popular to serve ice cream, cake, sillabub, cheese sticks, with salads, salt peanuts and the like on the side, yet to attract a crowd to an entertainment there is nothing that can equal the announcewont n<? a onnivir u/ith thp Ill^UV VI U UVV t " good old-iime barbecue, cooked to a delightful crisp and seasoned to an appetizing finish, served with rice and delic ous brown gravy, which is juice caught from the sizzling porker. Quite a number of people came to the popular home of Mr and Mrs T J Phillips last Friday evening where a hot supper was given for the benefit of the Cedar Grove Baptist church. The European war and money stringency, due to the low price of cotton, were negative quantities in the thoughts of those present, for they were happy and gay, moving and mingling among the merry crowd, pleasantly chatting with friends and dear friends. However, when supper was announced, no one did omit entering the spacious dining-hall. After depositing fifty cents in the receptacle in care of the door-keeper, which served as an admittance card to the massive quadrangular table arranged within, the guests were ushered in. The amount raised was eighty-three dollars and a hearty "thank-you" from the committee was extended to all parties concerned. WES. CotCon Oil Men Complain. Wock in nrf a1 O T-Joi'inrr TV CLOI 11 ll|?

The 6th District Representative was told that this Government would promptly look into the complaint and do whatever it could to secure relief. LATER. Washington, October 13:?With regard to protests which are being received by members of the South Carolina delegation as to interference with shipments of cotton seed products to Holland and other neutral countries by the British authorities, it should be noted that the State department last week gave out a formal statement that the British Government had withdrawn its objections to these shipments and, would not regard cotton seed products as contraband unless intended for the German Government. WHITE OAK CHIPS Picked Up During the Week by Our Wideawake Scribe. White Oak, October 13:?Mr John H Baker, an energetic and capable saw mill man of the Central vicinity, has been engaged by several of the enterprising citizens of this place to j saw them about 300,000 feet of lum-! ber and Mr Baker is now busily en- i gaged in erecting his machinery, i npnr thp rpsiilenee nf Mr f! K Eaddv. I Mr Baker will have everything in working order in a few days. We! are glad to report that the European j war and low-priced cotton do notj keep our progressive "bailiwick" j from improving, and ere many months have glided by, we hope to see several new residences, additions and repairs. "White Oak is hard to hold down." Mr A R Eaddy visited his parents and other relatives at Prospect Saturday and Sunday. He was accompanied by Mr David N Cox. Messrs E Dewitt and Burton T Eaddv and Misses Pauline Cantev and Opal Eaddy spent the week-end I pleasantly at the home of Miss Cani tey's parents at Workman. Mr G F Gopfert of Snelling has joined his family here for a few days' recreation with his former friends and acquaintances. Mr Ray Cox is attending school at Cades this session. Messrs C K Eaddy, W E Flowers and B W McElveen went to the metropolis of Williamsburg Friday on business. Farmers are busy gathering the fleecy staple, also hay, corn and other agricultural products. Mr J A Matthews is a frequent visitor to Lake Lity now-a-days. It is evident to your "scribe" that Dan Cupid is doing some of his cunning mischief. The White Oak baseball team had an engagement with the Oak Dale team for a game of ball on the latter's grounds, near Workman, and many of the players were in readiness to go Saturday morning, but the Messrs Matthews, of the White Oak team, were detained on account of having much hay down, which had to be promptly housed. The boys are sorry of the disappointment, but it could not be helped. Mrs G F Gopfert, A P Buffkin, W D and A R Eaddy spent Monday in the Indrantown section and had the pleasure of taking dinner at the home of Mr and Mrs J M Williamson. Mr and Mrs L E Flowers of Pamplico visited the family of their brother, Mr W E Flowers, recently. Messrs McHenry and Winfield Floyd of Central conducted religious services in our midst Saturday night and Sunday morning. The services were well attended and seemed to be much enjoyed. A social affair was given at the A ? \>T * M ma A D uvsiii^ vi 4t.il onu m i o n i\ Dauu) Wednesday evening of last week in honor of Miss Pauline Cantey, the charming young school-ma'am. Several plays were engaged in, after which the young folk enjoyed a "pindar popping." There will be a prayer and song service every Friday evening at 7:30 o'clock at the White Oak school house. All wishing to attend these services are hereby extended a cordial invitation. B W .M Big Cotton Loan In SIgbt. New York, October 14: ? The raising of a $150,000,000 fund by bankers and representatives of Southern cotton planters to finance the country's cotton crop is virtually assured, it was announced here toni on/] IT 1 Uao*/1 i ckiiKi liic: ixuciai i vtoci v e uuaiu at Washington will be called upon to manage the fund and direct the loaning of it. A brief summary of the war news is, the Germans captured Antwerp and the Allies have "bent back" the right wing of the German army. These are about the only real results we can gather from the censored reports of the week's campaigning. ~^T| ALLEN'S bl FOOT=EASE Rmk.

"Hess and Clarlbell Spencer en- ' tertained all our old school club at | their summer place, lioee Lodge, before they closed it. There were ten j of us all told, and we had quite an exciting time. I wish I dared tell you about it." "Why shouldn't you tell me?" "Well, I know I really should not, | but if you'll promise eternal secrecy, ! I believe I will tell you, because you're a friend of Virginia's and anything that concerns her will be of special Interest to you. "You see, the first night we were at Hose Lodge we sat on the floor before j the blazing fire and played 'truth.' The engaged girls all confessed, and when j it came Virginia's turn she laughed and said she wasn't engaged?yet! And that was all she would say. "You know how telegrams are usually delivered by telephone in the country. Well, one morning when 1 was straightening the dining room a message came over the phone for Virginia. She was out walking, so I took it for her. After the operator bad given it to me he insisted upon my shouting it back to him for verification. Bess, Helen, Anita and Margaret, who were the dinner committee that day, were in the kitchen and heard every word. Well, their curiosity was pnual to mine." "What was the telegram?" demanded Nell. "It was. 'I earnestly beg you to return unopened special delivery letter mailed you yesterday. Deeply regret I cannot explain.' It was signed 'John Hartridge.' "Before Virginia came In from her walk the letter Itself had been brought by a boy from the village, and I handed Virginia the dispatch that I had written down and the letter at the same time. " 'What will you do?' we all inquired of her. " 'Just what he asks, of course,' was Virginia's virtuous reply. " 'But Virginia, aren't you almost expiring to know what's in that letter?' asked Joyce. " 'Of course I am,' she admitted, 'but I don't think it would be right for me to open it after getting John's message. Do you, girls?' INO-O, we ail agreeu, rciucuuiu/# ill^ fci "None of You Girle Need Help." 'But,' added Joyce, 'If that telegram had been delayed an hour you would have read the letter.' "'Yes, but the telegram wasn't delayed.' "She left the letter lying on the dining table, where it reposed all through dinner. When Joyce, who was head dishwasher that day, gathered the dishes on a tray to cany them to the kitchen, she took the letter also. I think I was the only one who saw her pick It up. My first impulse was to | ask what she was going to do with It, but something held me back?a sort of sympathy, perhaps, for the nefari- ; ous plan, whatever It was, that I thought had popped Into her head. " 'None of you girls n#ed help with the dishes,' she ?aid with unwonted saintliness. 'I feel that I haven't been doing my share of the work.' As that was the general opinion, no one insisted upon following her into the kitchen. j "When she joined us an hour later , she looked dangerously innocent. 'Just j 6ee what has happened,' she exclaimed, j 'I left the mysterious letter on the 1 plate warmer above the teakettle, and c the steam must have loosened the seal, 1 for the envelope is open.' "'You little imp!' cried Virginia. "She couldn't control her curiosity i any longer, which would have been c too much to ask of any human girl. ( She took the letter and read it, and S she didn't even try to conceal from us a that it contained an ardent proposal ? of marriage. I suppose we shall never 0 know what caused John's sudden | change of heart." c "Did she send It back?" asked Nell, ? breathlessly. li "Joyce put it in the envelope again, I carefully resealed it, and it was re- ! ' turned to Mr. Hartridge without coin- 0 ment. Poor Virginia, who was really a guiltless, would be painfully mortified ? if he ever learned that it was opened, p So, remember your promise, dear, and 0 don't tell a soul." li "No, indeed, I'll never breathe It," a Nell assured her Impressively. "Did all the nine girls promise secrecy?"? j * Chicago Daily Newt. CONSUMPTION TAKES 350 PEOPLE DAILY Over 350 people succumb to consumption every day in the United State?.

The farmers all over the State are invited and urged to attend the exhibition on bird protection in the agricultural building during the State fair, October 26-30. This exhibit is the first of the kind ever held in this State. It is under the auspices of the Mationai association of Audubon societies in cooperation with the bird committee of the Federation of Women's Club3. This exhibit will be interesting and instructive. Scientific experts have been studying the food habits of birds for years. Some of the results of these investigations will be shown by picture, chart and publications. Owing to their feeding habits most birds are of immense value to farmers. Therefore, birds should be protected. A resident hunter's license law) affords one of the best means of bird protection. This is taught by the experience of other States possessing such a law. One of the greatest enemies of bird life is the common cat. A place will be given to the cat in thi* exhibit. There will be displays of models of practical bird houses and boxes which can be constructed for a few cents. Valuable literature on the subject of bird protection will be distributed free.
